If you are a stable, secure, professional guy that is willing to develop a meaningful relationship in spite of my current hardship, I'd love to hear from you.

A few things about myself:  I'm honest, fun, compassionate, adventurous, reliable and dependable.

A few things I enjoy:  playing pool, shopping, camping, bike rides and gardening.

A few important people in my life:  my dad, my children, my friends.

A few things I never want to do:  take anyone or anything for granted, return to prison, hurt anyone.

A few things I want to do:  sky dive, parasail, travel abroad, fall in love, learn to golf, watch a football game in every stadium nationwide.

A few things I look for in a man:  good sense of humor, physically fit, a smile that lights up a room, intelligent, self-motivated and a true gentleman.

A few things I love:  family, football, men, classic cars, sexercise, music, trivia, learning new things, a challenge, jewelry and water.

A few hobbies:  swimming, tennis, skiing, reading and photography.

A few things that might surprise you:  I can do plumbing, electrical, change my own oil, tires and brakes.  I love a challenge.  I've never been "in love".

A few of my shortcomings:  too independent, hard-headed, gullible and impatient.

A few of my favorite foods:  asparagus, Brussels sprouts, shrimp and anything cooked on the grill.

A few of my dreams:  to be able to afford to do and have the things I've always wanted, to find that special someone meant for me and to be utterly content.

If I sound like the girl for you - please write.  I will do my best to respond to all letters.  Feel free to include a photo.  Looking forward to hearing from you!
